Musings and Reflections – end of Winter 2021

The start of the New Year was the time when after some time off I came back to see whether I still like anime. I guess this winter season was a pretty good for me to return to it – there’s lots of shows that are sequels – which I couldn’t watch because I haven’t seen the first seasons or simply didn’t caught up with the current season. I’ll definitely get back to Attack on Titan some day, Re:Zero and Non Non Biyori are also my possible targets, and everything else… Well, there’re many ok shows but anime that seem to be right up my alley aren’t that numerous. So yeah, such a season left me either a small number of shows that I knew should be good (and were)  – that’s you, Yuru Camp, or should be pretty good (and more or less – probably less – were) – hey, HoriMiya. And yeah, that one wonderfully (yep, pun intended) memorable show that I binge watched after it (sort of) ended. I doubt there’s anything else I might come back to later on. Still – a pretty normal season compared to ones I remember.
